Loy Yang mine

The Loy Yang mine which is owned by Great Energy Alliance Corporation. The mine, which is located near Traralgon, produces approximately 30 million tonnes of coal a year which is supplied to the adjoining Loy Yang A power station and the Loy Yang B power station.

Protests
On September 3, 2007, activists from Real Action on Climate Change chained themselves to the coal conveyor belt from the Loy Yang Mine which supplies coal to the brown-coal-fired Loy Yang A Power Station and Loy Yang B Power Station in Traralgon, Australia. Two people, and others hung several large banners from the plant. The action took place several days before an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Sydney, and was intended to draw attention to Prime Minister John Howard's failure to limit Australian carbon emissions. Four people were arrested.
